FAQ: What types of kits does Thimble.io offer?

At Thimble.io, our commitment is to empower educators with meticulously crafted tools and programs. We aim to curate resources that not only support your students' current learning but also pave a well-defined path for their future success.

Our Level 1 curriculum is meant to be the very beginning of a student’s journey learning electronics, coding, engineering. No experience is required! The student will learn the fundamentals and become familiar with various sensors and programming languages, such as C++.

Level 2 will start off with students building a robotic arm to add to their WiFi Robot. This level will be complemented by the addition of a new project that introduces students to Weather and Agricultural Technology. Students will interact with familiar components and learn how to apply them in creative ways. 

Students that have made it to Level 3 will add the finishing touches to their Weather Station and explore other subject areas in technology such as smart home technology, video game construction and design, and music and audio engineering – introducing skills such as soldering and more advanced programming.

Level 4 pushes the boundaries on all things tech - including hardware, software, soldering, and data analysis. The kits at this level require time, effort, critical thinking, and an understanding of the fundamentals of engineering and coding. Most skills learned in this tier are high school and college level material (Advanced Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering).
